I don't remember Jona waiting for the support of two-thirds majority of the Senate before removing CBN GOvernor, SLS.

helinues:
And what about Onnoghen?

Our President said he acted based on the The CCT ( Code of Conduct Tribunal)....

It is not Constitutional.... Our Constitution does not allow that.....

It's a Rape of the Nigerian Constitution

baliyubla:
As long as the Nigerian Judiciary is concerned, nothing happened today.

Buhari is wasting his time if he thinks he will keep the CJN busy in court while he perfects his rigging plan.

The dullard should wait and see Nigerias authentic CJN W. S.N Onnoghen constitute the elections tribunal tomorrow.

Why do u people like deceiving urself? Who are the Nigerians you are referring to if I may ask?? We go see who dey waste him.time!

I LOVE PMB

Buhari you must Fail.. Very wicked old man you are..

Cry cry baby. Ntooor!

When Jonathan '' removed'' or was ' 'suspended' '
Justice Ayo Salami the then President of Appeal court where were you?
Buhari has dameged your game plan. Dubai arrangements are in shambles. Ntooor!
I think the next to be' 'suspended in that Supreme Court of Corruption is lnjustice Mary Odili the conduit that corrupt politicians use to ferry tonnes bribes to their Lordships.
A currupt judiciary is worst than HIV/Aids and Bokoharam put together!Enough is a enough.

helinues:
And what about Onnoghen?

What about him?

Was his suspension recommended by NJC?

We know you will talk,what else

You can only rant Atiku. You can't do nada about it

Otondo read what you posted under GEJ justice Ayo sack was recommended by NJC and Jonathan endorsed it, did NJC recommend Onnoghen sack?

athiefKulooler, your own case na special case, we know you now see yourself approaching prison because no more corrupt judges to let looters like you get away with crooked, injunctions and frivolous appeals with 1000 crooked SAN lawyers..


Ndo....

omogidi234:
Please digest things before posting. Only NJC can recommend suspension or removal of a judge not CCB or CCT.

The case you are referring to was based on NJC's recommendations but the one at hand was not.

So NJC can recommend the removal of Salami because he did not greet former outgoing CJN?

Or what was Salami's offense?

BUT WHERE THE CJN SEE ALL THE MONEY FOR IM ACCOUNTS? ABEG MAKE UNA BAIL ME OUT CAUSE AYAM NOT UNDERSTAND...

Someone should tell this guy to shut his dirty mouth...

If others are complaining he should not talk cos he is totally corrupt and did much worse during his time as vice president!

foreshore:
Do you have any sense at all?

Sir, do you think his suspension isn't justifiable?

helinues:
You can only rant Atiku. You can't do nada about it

Can't you read? In the said article Jonathan sacked only after recommendations from NJC!

helinues:

Tell them again.

They will only wail, nothing will happen!


Atiku just trying to be relevant.

Continue wailing

helinues:
Still not Buhari that fires him directly. That's the point

Only the NJC can do so. Eve the Supreme court itself does not have such powers

Born2Breed:
The controversial suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, by President Muhammadu Buhari has continued to elicit mixed reactions.

In removing Mr Onnoghen, Mr Buhari claimed he acted based on a Code of Conduct Tribunal order.

Many Nigerians, however, believe the president has no such powers to remove a CJN from office.

Section 292 of the Nigerian constitution deals with the removal of some public officials including the CJN. The section does not distinguish temporary removal (suspension) from a permanent removal (sack).

Below is the law as reproduced verbatim from the constitution

“A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances –

Okowa Campaign AD

(a) in the case of –

“Chief Justice of Nigeria, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and President, Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.”

(ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State,

Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct;

(b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct.

In other words, a sitting CJN can only be removed from office by the president after at least two-thirds majority members of the Senate support such a move. No such matter has been debated in the Senate.

Stop regurgitating the same nonsense. HE WAS NOT REMOVED. HE WAS SUSPENDED

What was Salami's offense? Please tell us

Atiku don't worry, they will still nail you. Dem never buy nail.

helinues:

You posted an old Ayo Salami sack. He was sacked through the right procedure. By NJC. But Onoghen's own is via presidential fiat which is alien to the section of the constitution pertaining to such a process.

Very Anti Democratic act. Well said President to be. God save Nigeria.

I hope you read what you posted. A judge can be sacked or removed based on recommendation of the NJC. The NJC recommended removal of Salami.

shachris02:
you are only but an idiot.

Which NJC recommended onnoghen's suspension?

You think Jonathan just woke up and suspended the CJN?

why are you this stupid.

Pele, I am not the genesis of your frustrations.

Take care
